Port my number out of telus

[roshu74]

I have a company provided old phone from previous employee which has a Telus plan on it with number XXX-XXX-XXXX. Now our company is laying off people and people who are let go are allowed to keep their numbers. I don't know the specifics how. 

I need to keep this number for incoming calls. How do I port this number and keep it with me?

What is the lowest plan I can get on with Telus without any lock-in?

You can port from one carrier to another; you can port from postpaid to prepaid, but you can’t port from postpaid to postpaid with the same carrier. You can see all Telus pricing at Telus.com.

Your cheapest option would be to port the number to a prepaid account.

Was the company phone also under a company plan in which in turn they paid the bill?
